We've been using tumblr for a while now, can we get the blog showing up at theforest.org.uk properly? Is it technically impossible to do so, while still having http://theforest.org.uk/bb/ point to our bb? If so, can we move the bb to http://bb.theforest.org.uk/? Something better than the HTTP 301 redirect we're using now.

I've had it with you. If I had an image of a laser gun I would absolutely position it right here in my hand...Ha! I have a real laser absolutely positioned in my hand!

Not easily/at all. It's not just the BB, there's also the cave booking system, the webmail (which we can't change) and a few other bits and pieces running on the server/webspace we're paying for.

I did go through everything I could think of to try and find a solution when we first made the change. The problem is, even if you move everything to subdomains, we still have to run the main domain from Barnabus' server so that everything else (mail, ftp, other subdomains) work properly, so then still all we can do is the redirect from the main page to tumblr.

Oh well, thanks for looking into it. It's probably the kind of thing that very few people care about anyway. It's cool that forest is so high on google, a lot of people must link to it.

On a Duck Duck Go search for 'the forest' we're the second link under 'Places', second to a disused Australian railway station. We've even got our own page: http://duckduckgo.com/Forest_Caf%C3%A9We come third if you search for 'forest cafe'.
